....from the rest of the article:
Cruz has never discussed his views on dildo commerce during the 2016 campaign, and it’s unlikely that many of his supporters know his history on such matters. It’s difficult to gauge the effect this news will have on Cruz’s standing with the electorate, as exit polls neglected to ask Republican primarygoers about their affinity for sexual devices.
Regardless, the American people deserve to know whether Cruz still holds such an expansive view of the government’s right to regulate public morality. There are undoubtedly no small number of patriots in this country who would tell President Cruz’s jackbooted thugs, “I’ll give you my dildo when you pry it from my cold, dead hands.”

I do not believe this is the argument Cruz was making before the court.
More succinctly, it was the MANNER in which these “sex toys” were being represented to potential purchasers, and not being sufficiently selective in limiting the purchasers to “adult” customers.
That these “sex toys” exist, and perhaps have since the dawn of civilization in some form or another, was not what was being argued. This sales traffic has always been occurring, as excavations of ancient civilizations have shown. But it is to be kept to limited channels, which has always been the part of the social contract, as a condition of doing business. People will still always be people, and some have less self control than others. There is an obligation on the part of the rest of society to divert and provide a means of expressing these urges that do not include sexual assault upon the innocent or unwilling.

I can think of one freeper who is going to switch his vote over this!

I wouldn’t call Rosie O’Donnell a patriot.
